Punitive fines on contractors are imposed for repetitive violation of safety rules & regulations during execution of jobs. Objective of punitive fines is to work as deterrent for contractors in violation of safety rules & regulation and to improve safety atmosphere in general at all site. Proposed guidelines for imposition are described below: For first time violation of safety rules & regulation by any contractor, HOD (F&S) will issue a warning letter to contractor with intimation to OIC of work center and EIC. In case of second time violation of safety rules & regulations by same contractor, OIC will call contractor in person and will have a meeting to discuss reason for repetitive violation along with EIC and HOD (F&S). A warning letter will also be issued by EIC to contractor. In case of further violation, punitive fines will be imposed on contractor. Amount of fine will be decided as per severity of violation of safety. However, minimum fine would be Rs.10,000/- and in multiple of Rs.10,000/-, thereafter. This will be limited to 5% of contract value, as maximum cumulative penalty. This practice of punitive fines is to be implemented across all Gail sites on those contracts having value of minimum Rs.10 Lacs and above or any other contractor for recurring operation or maintenance (AMC), irrespective of value. Practice of punitive fines will be applicable for projects sites also and would be over and above the deduction made by M/s EIL for safety violation from running bills 10 .
